Hi Guys,

Just wondering, is there an API function to create chocolatey feeds? i cant seem to find it in the doco.

thanks,

Clint

Hello Clint,

To do this, you would need to use the native API. For example:

(newlines inserted for readability. they would not be in the actual request.)

POST /api/json/Feeds_CreateFeed HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

key=[your native API key]&
Feed_Name=[feed name]&
FeedType_Name=Chocolatey&
FeedConfiguration_Xml=%3CInedo.ProGet.Feeds.NuGet.NuGetFeedConfig%20Assembly%3D%22ProGetCoreEx%22%3E
%3CProperties%20UseLegacyVersioning%3D%22False%22%20%2F%3E
%3C%2FInedo.ProGet.Feeds.NuGet.NuGetFeedConfig%3E

The easiest way to get a value for FeedConfiguration_Xml is to configure a feed in ProGet and then copy that column from the database.

Fantastic, thanks Ben. Get that to work OK - however when I then try to call the promotions api to promote, it returns the Native JSON API Reference instead of actually doing anything.

POST /api/json/promotions/promote HTTP/1.1
Host: proget.server
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 109411c1-d1b5-81f7-603f-be2c9901a42f

key=BjvV78liayx7CEay6O1Y%2Bg%3D%3D&packageName=QCAD.ARL.Service&fromFeed=QCAD&toFeed=NewFeed

going to /api/promotions/promote as per the doco just returns a 500 error

thoughts?

thanks,
Clint

Sorry, I did get it working, didn't see that 'version' was required. is there any way to just promote 'latest' rather than a named version?

Good idea ... in 5.0.9, there should be! I just added PG-1216, and assuming there are no issues with it, we'll ship it.

Outstanding, thanks Alex
